Join us for the one or all of the Design and Violence Debates!
Debate II: April 10, 6:30-8PM, Bartos Theater
The third debate focuses on the Menstruation Machine (2010), above, designed by Sputniko! (aka Hiromi Ozaki) to allow its wearer to experience the pain and tribulation of menstruation, regardless of his or her age or gender. Chris Bobel (author, New Blood: Third-wave Feminism and the Politics of Menstruation) and Mickey Boardman (Editorial Director, Paper magazine) will deliver debate motions, moderated by Jamer Hunt.
Design and Violence is an ongoing online curatorial experiment that explores the manifestations of violence in contemporary society by pairing critical thinkers with examples of challenging design work. For this debate series, spanning four evenings, the curators have chosen four provocative motions supported by case studies that will be argued for faults and merits.
